Fig. 4From: TGF-β1/FGF-2 signaling mediates the 15-HETE-induced differentiation of adventitial fibroblasts into myofibroblastsFGF-2-induced α-SMA expression is mediated by TGF-β1. Cells were treated with FGF-2 (15 ng/ml) for 4 h. a Western blot for TGF-β1 expression. b Cells transferred with TGF-β1 siRNAs, α-SMA changes were analyzed. Data consist of the means of three independent experiments ± SEM (n = 3). * p < 0.05 vs. controls; +p < 0.05 vs. 15-HETEBack to article page
